I get it! I get the magic of NaNoWrimo! It is this: that even after finishing, and even after finishing without winning the big prize (50,000 words), I want to write and keep writing, a lot, just for the feeling of writing, just for that joy at hand. It wasn’t being skeptical of the process thatContinue reading “NaNoWrimo part 2”

NaNoWrimo
It’s been quite a while since I posted, not due to lost interest, but rather to the legal course I was taking requiring all my energies. I’m finished now, and it will be interesting to see what comes of this new pathway. 🙂 In the meantime, I decided to jump into NaNoWrimo. This is myContinue reading “NaNoWrimo”
Lifeshocks
So I’m reading a book. Actually, since last writing about books here, I’ve gone through around twenty, but the book I’m reading now (in hardcover no less) seems fitting for this blog. Especially, it seems fitting because I’m not sure many people will hear about it for a while, and I think the concept isContinue reading “Lifeshocks”
Justice
On a night like tonight I ask a question close to, “Does calling it karma make it easier to bear?” ‘It’ being my self, I think.

Complexity and View
There is not much simple about our times, nor is it easy to be satisfied with cute little stories about enlightened moments, when almost all of us are facing very difficult choices every day, dealing with those we love, and trying not to hate those seeing the world in very different ways from our own.

Studying happiness is counter-intuitive. My tendency is to think that the more time I spend on studying how to be happy, the less time I’m spending ‘just being’, which is a happy state. Yet…
Appreciation: Presenting what Presents
Have returned from a trip, and from writing elsewhere about the trip in a way that surprised even myself. It all just poured through like sunshine, first thing in the morning…
Reticence
Although I usually feel fairly vulnerable in the world when I compare myself to others, or more so compare myself to the ideas my younger self had about what I might become…
changing on stage
Some of you may have noticed I keep changing my themes and formats for this blog. This is because I myself am still in a somewhat intense period of learning and shape-shifting. All of us have many aspects. In different mediums, with different others, we take on different expressions. I happen to change a lot,Continue reading “changing on stage”
Looking Back (2017)
First, credit due. At the end of 2016, there were just a few things I was totally sure about. I’d finished reading The Universe Has Your Back and had moved into A Course in Miracles. I’d begun to feel a release from integration work, and to be more forward looking, open to making new connections,Continue reading “Looking Back (2017)”
